Add 6 1/3+7 1/2. What is the sum?
To perform this addition, we need to first convert the fractions into a common denominator.
The common denominator of 3 and 2 is 6.
The first mixed number, 6 1/3, can be written as an improper fraction: 6 1/3 = (6 * 3 + 1) / 3 = 19/3.
The second mixed number, 7 1/2, can be written as an improper fraction: 7 1/2 = (7 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 15/2.
Now we can add the two improper fractions:
19/3 + 15/2 = (19 * 2 + 15 * 3) / (3 * 2) = (38 + 45) / 6 = 83/6.
Therefore, the sum of 6 1/3 and 7 1/2 is 83/6.
